“Trust women to be the experts of their own stories.”
I really wish I could remember where I heard that or who said it - and if I do I’ll give them the proper credit - but it has stayed with me ever since.

OMG 🤣🤣🤣!

#NaPoWriMo Day 11. The prompt was to create a blackout/erasure poem. I’ve never done #blackoutpoetry before; this was fun! #poetrysky
We shouldn't all be forced to live in this episode of The Twilight Zone constantly. This is no way to live.
A WHOLE CIVILIZATION WILL DIE TONIGHT My son needs lunch, and I have to put his backpack together, but a whole civilization will die tonight, so I'm wondering if they've closed their schools. Like, a snow day, maybe, except instead of snow it's "keep your children home so if you die, you die together" — instead of "well open back up once the plows have cleared" it's "we don't know if we'll be here tomorrow, hold your babies tight." It's just "talk" I'm told, which I've been told before. "It's how the president makes his deals." But I've never heard anyone talk about other human beings this way, and I'm not certain I can look my son in the eyes if we all agree to stomach it one more time. A civilization will die tonight, but as I zip up his backpack and kiss him off to school I think: if this is what we call leadership then I'm not entirely sure ours isn't already dead. @michaelfdubois Mukad A QuBoy @michacifdubois
Brutal.
#NaPoWriMo Day 7. My dog was my muse for today’s poem ❤️. The prompt was to write a poem that emulates the songs of clapping games and jumprope and skipping rhymes – something to snap, clap, and jump around to. #poetry #poetrysky
Naw, alto clef!
Ok, now do the bass clef.

I lost my Corgi, Lola, last February, the first dog that was mine. I was depressed for months afterwards. I adopted a shelter puppy last summer and she’s been such a joy. I still love and miss Lola, but it’s a little easier. I’m so sorry for your loss. Hugs to you and your other sweet pup.
He’s a punk.
Love Coach Staley, love this team. Go Gamecocks!
#NaPoWriMo Day 3. A cinquain.
Backyard Conversations
Neighbors
flit in sunlight
and converse in their trees,
telling their tales and sharing songs
of spring.

From yesterday. #NaPoWriMo Day 2. #poetry #poetrysky
A photo of the moon setting in the morning. The sky is bluish-purple and the moon is a large ball of orange light seen through trees.
#NaPoWriMo Day 1. 30 poems in 30 days.
Moonset
Purple-colored sky
slowly shifts to blue as the
sun wakes from sleeping.
April arrives as the moon
descends in bright, orange light.
Photo taken this morning of the moon setting ❤️.

Newberry resident here; welcome to Bluesky! Looking forward to learning more about your campaign and voting for you. Thank you for stepping up to run!
I’ve been under the weather the last few days so I wasn’t able to make the Newberry or Columbia events. I did drive by the Newberry event and waved to everyone and shouted my thanks. Looks like it was really good turnout!
I hope so, too.
You’re welcome! Thank YOU for sharing the suggestion! It’s important she hears from us that she made a HUGE misstep here.
I live in South Carolina and I just emailed her about this as well.
Extremely disappointed in @drannieandrews.com with this ad. Graham is awful but this is not the way. You can go after Graham on the issues - and possibly WIN - without resorting to homophobia and rumors and mean girl tactics. This is beneath you; do better.
NEW: Former Trump official Steve Bannon suggested the president deployed ICE officers to major U.S. airports as a “test run” for using them in upcoming elections.
According to the administration, they will not assist TSA with passenger screenings but instead guard exit lanes or check IDs.
Happy first day of Spring 🌷🌿. #springishere #yoyoma #gsmnp
What a cutie 😍!
